Statement from Cook County Sheriff:

Earlier today, an autopsy conducted by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office determined that Vanessa Ceja Ramirez, 22, of Harvey, died of strangulation, and her death was ruled a homicide.

Ceja Ramirez was reported missing on Monday afternoon after she disappeared from the Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve.

Cook County Forest Preserve District Police, with assistance from the Sheriff's Office and other local law enforcement agencies, searched the forest preserve on Monday evening. A Sheriff's Police K9 unit was able to detect a scent trail, but the trail dissipated and the search was unsuccessful.

Cook County Forest Preserve Police continued their missing persons investigation until Wednesday afternoon when the body of Ceja Ramirez was discovered in a wooded area at the Midlothian Meadows forest preserve. At that point, Sheriff's Police opened a death investigation at the request of Cook County Forest Preserve Police. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information about her disappearance or death are asked to please contact Sheriff's Police detectives by calling 708-865-4896 or via email at [email protected].
